The shipping delay was resolved. Shipment was just delayed a couple days. My new Audioengine HD6-US-WHT HD6 home music system speakers showed up and they are pretty darn epic so far. I also purchased the DS2M desktop stands to help get some separation between the speakers and the desk. My big plan for the evening has been to listen to more music this year and this new set of speakers will help facilitate more listening. I actually set up the Bluetooth pairing with my MacBook Air and things are working out pretty well after hitting the pairing button on the back of the speaker. I would have preferred if the speakers were able to handle multiple source pairings and just play the active audio stream from the paired devices. That would make having the speakers paired to a smartphone and computer at the same time possible. That would be the most likely setup for somebody who was listening to these speakers every day. Those are my initial thoughts on the speakers after a day of listening. I’m very particular about picking out new speakers for my office. The search took a long time. All sorts of options were considered. Audio equipment has been something I have become very passionate about over the last few years. 

I should probably have rewritten that last paragraph into two or maybe three different blocks of content. Unfortunately, I think it is just going to remain the way it was written and that is going to be the way of things. The sentiment I was going for was captured, but the prose was just not the quality I was expecting. It’s possible that later on at some point that story of the speakers arriving might be revisited. That is probably wishful thinking. My attention will move on to the next block of content to be written. Taking the time to tell the same stories over and over again is just not in the cards. Ironically based on everything I just wrote you might argue that I have the time to sit and write about writing over and over again. That may be a fair point. It might very well be the best point of logical consistency produced within this chautauqua about pure audio joy.
